6.1 Lessons Learned Development

6.1.1 In those instances where an appointment letter has been issued as a result of a mishap or close call, the Appointing Official is responsible for ensuring that the investigation team identify potential lessons learned topics for further exploration following the completion of the mishap investigation. These topics should be clearly delineated in the final investigation report.

6.1.2 Following the approval of the final investigation report by the Approving Official, the Appointing Official shall designate a person or team of persons to further investigate, develop, or expand the lessons learned topics identified in the report.

6.2 Lessons Learned Disposition, Submission, and Approval

6.2.1 The person or team of persons appointed by the Appointing Official to further investigate lessons learned topics from the final investigation report will have 6 weeks from their appointment date to disposition and prepare any lessons learned for submission to the NASA LLIS.

6.2.2 This person or team of persons will review each lessons learned topic and determine which have potential applicability to other existing or future NASA programs, projects, and operations. Those that do will be explored in greater detail and be prepared for submission to the NASA LLIS database in accordance with NASA LLIS database submission policies and requirements.

6.2.3 The prepared lessons learned will be provided to the Appointing Official. Upon receipt of the proposed lessons learned, the Appointing Official will provide a copy to the Approving official, the applicable safety organization, and other selected offices as is deemed appropriate for review (see paragraph 6.2.4 below). Based on the results of that review, the Appointing Official will either accept or reject the lessons learned and direct their submission to the NASA LLIS.

6.2.4 The prepared submission must be cleared before submission to the NASA LLIS by an appropriate-level NASA legal official, NASA import/export control official, and any other NASA program or policy official as appropriate. This will ensure that the lessons learned submission to the NASA LLIS is consistent with NASA policy and does not contain any restricted, privileged, or private information, classified information, or information that is subject to import/export control regulations.

6.2.5 The approved, prepared submission should be submitted electronically to the NASA LLIS database. Questions about how to electronically submit the data should be directed to the LLIS representative in the SMA office at the NASA Center which is the responsible organization for the hardware and/or persons involved in the close call or mishap.
